Preferential hiring for Eagle and XJT pilots?
 
They've done more with their "no" votes than we could ever ask for. It's a sacrifice that might cost them flying but it kept the bar about where it is. It would be an honest shame to see them lose jobs because of it.

Nice idea, but starting a thread here will not change anything. Email your reps!!

Again, I will ask if you are willing to write a letter of rec for those who have taken a stand so we may move on to a "hopefully" more stable position at a major/LCC/ULCC.

There is talk, and then there is action.

They will all be fine where they are at. It was all company bluff....it costs way more to move the flying around that to keep it where it is, not to mention staffing is a huge issue at the moment.

I am pretty sure recruiters know what is going on and will probably look more closely when coming across one.

The two guys I know that do hiring/recruiting at majors could give a rats a$$ about drama at the regional level. The have zero clue who votes for or against their TAs, and whether it was a good thing for the industry.

I hope they are in the minority. I am happy to see fellow pilots trying to better the profession.

Who actually makes the hiring decisions at an airline? If its controlled by management, why would they give preferential hiring to people that didn't want to work for less

Exactly what I was thinking

Well I guess I was thinking this was about going to another regional, definitely not a major.

One, no one at egl or expj will be furloughed anytime soon.

Second, hiring at majors and regional airlines is almost entirely pilot controlled.
